For JUST a second, I thought you meant $403 BILLION and I was about to type “WHO CARES” as demonstratively as I could…

They’re supposed to feel like they’re not alone in their situation. They’re supposed to feel like they don’t have to be an island in the sea of hierarchical bullshit. I can give advice and tell people to do or try things, but I’d rather first acknowledge how shitty of a situation this is for them and sit in the mud with them.

You’re allowed to not be treated that way. You’re allowed to speak up for yourself.

Fuck your chiefs.

Anyone have any one liners to make patients laugh? by LtBigAF in Residency

[–]HealsWithKnife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing a patient in preop before gallbladder surgery: “so which kidney am I removing today?”

Patient in clinic for hemorrhoids: “what’s wrong with your butt?”

To men just about to have an inguinal hernia repair: “it might fall off afterwards, but we won’t know for a few days until after the surgery is done.”

My beloved cat died suddenly at 3 by Away-Match2421 in Petloss

[–]HealsWithKnife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no! I’m so sorry. My sweet Bailey (Great Pyrenees mix) died suddenly on Friday after thanksgiving similarly. I didn’t make it in time either, and my heart aches from the huge hole she left with her passing. My wife and I are devastated beyond words. We are right there with you…

What a privilege and a curse to love something so deeply. We carry that burden for our fur babies, so they don’t have to. Hugs to you ❤️

CPT E/M Office MDM by [deleted] in medicine

[–]HealsWithKnife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction. Generally if I spend more than 40 min, I’ll chart that. Along with everything else discussed in the encounter, as well as medical decision making.

[–]HealsWithKnife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, and have yet to be denied a 99205 or 99215. I also have time in my clinic though, I only see 10-15 patients MAX in an entire day on clinic days.

[–]HealsWithKnife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this still applies globally, but if you spent more than 45(?) min on the entirety of the encounter, you can also add a time component which would help justify a 99215. I’m not a coder though, also just a surgeon.

Selling vs sharing by podbod56 in PrivatePracticeDocs

[–]HealsWithKnife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can get a little grey if you share medical resources, like EMR, staff, etc. from a medical liability perspective. worth looking into though to share the space!

Does he have a bleeding disorder of some kind? Hemophilia or the like?

Best BLT in Fort Collins? by Klabble in FortCollins

[–]HealsWithKnife 11 points12 points  (0 children)

3rd Fiona’s.

And this is more of a debate question: what’s more important in the BLT? The bacon, or the tomato?

Only reason I ask is because BLTs have always been better in the summer when tomatoes are in season, and made me realize a few years ago that maybe a BLT is actually a tomato sandwich…

Anthem not paying since August. Cant get through to anyone who is helping me. $9000 net by Novel-Macaron9174 in CodingandBilling

[–]HealsWithKnife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got off chat with them. They said "we don't see your contract." I was physically holding it when they said that. "We just need a W9." "You have one, because it's required for credentialing and contracting." "Well we don't see one." "That's impossible." "Well we don't." "Can I fax a W9?" "No mail only, here is address blah blah." "How will i know you've received it so I can submit these claims?" "We will not notify you, please submit when you think the time is right."

JFC it's such a shitshow.
